Ash Potts An Original monologue Have you ever felt that the entire world is against you? That nothing is or can ever go right? I am me not somebody else and I am definitely not them. I have my own life and I want to live it the way I want not the way they want me to live it. IT IS MY LIFE! If I want to act and write shouldn't they support me? They said that they would support me in anything I wanted to do. ANYTHING! And they go back on that NOW! How could they? I want to write and sing and I have been told that I am good at it! IT IS WHAT I WANT TO DO! IT IS MY LIFE! Why won't they support me. They said they would. But now they are telling me what to do because they are paying for my education! A talk and an argument ensue and I am left for tears to take me off to sleep. I guess I can understand them now, but still I can not see how the impossible can become possible. A minor in drama. A four year course in only two? I must major in something else? But what? No matter what I do, they say, I can still do drama courses? Would that help my drama goal along? I don't know anymore. I am so confused. I had no problems with doing more than four years of school! But now I don't know what to do! I can feel the tears as they fall to hit the already wet paper. I don't know were to go or were to turn. They can't see the pain and confusion hidden in my eyes. They never could, I'm not sure if anyone can anymore for no one takes the time to look. Help, I don't know what to do anymore! My dream must come at the price of another degree that will support me while I audition, my father says. What do you think? Is he right? What should I do?!?!?!
